♦1999 FORT HAYS STATE FOOTBALL*
i
Founded in 1902 on the plains of western
Kansas, Fort Hays State University is the second
youngest of the state's six universities. An ongo-
ing five-year series of Centennial activities will
culminate in the year 2002.
From a humble but exciting beginning, when
just two faculty members and a 19-course cur-
riculum greeted 34 students, our university has
grown to a faculty of nearly 300, a support staff
of 250 and a student body of 5,600. The university
now offers hundreds of courses in each of its
four main colleges — Education, Arts and Sci-
ences, Business, and Health and Life Sciences —
and the Graduate School. The FHSU Virtual Col-
lege provides many of the courses through vari-
ous media to sites across Kansas and beyond.
FHSU is governed by a Board of Regents
appointed by the governor of the state of Kansas.
FHSU is located in Hays, the largest city In
northwest Kansas. Hays began as a wild frontier
town and has grown into a progressive commu-
nity of about 20,000 people. The old and new blend
beautifully to form a city that is small enough to be
comfortable yet large enough to provide abundant
cultural, commercial and entertainmentopportuni-
ties. In 1996, Hays was recognized as an All-
America City.
The university sits on a campus of 4,160
acres of land that once was part of the historic
Fort Hays frontier military post, and it recently
expanded to include the relocated Sternberg
Museum of Natural History on a site adjacent to
Interstate 70 in northeast Hays. Big Creek, with its
shady, grassy banks, meanders through the main
campus, providing a tranquil learning atmosphere
and serving as a natural laboratory for students
in the biological sciences. With its stately lime-
stone buildings and profuse flowers, trees and
shrubs, our campus has often been called the
prettiest in Kansas,
FHSU is academically superiorto many com-
parable universities, offers students an elec-
tronic learning and living environment, and is richly
endowed by heritage and tradition. Students come
to our university for a multitude of reasons, but
surveys show that their overwhelming reason is
“the university’s reputation for academic excel-
lence and its caring faculty.”
The university supports one of the most
extensive and successful Intercollegiate sports
programs of any comparably sized college or
university in America, boasting numerous Atl-
America athletes and national championships.
More than 350 athletes compete annually in eight
men’s and seven women's sports. FHSU is a
member of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Confer-
ence, which comprises 1 4 schools from the states
of Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska and New Mexico,
The university also serves as the cultural
center of western Kansas, featuring fine arts
exhibitions, performing arts presentations by fac-
ulty, students and traveling professional troupes,
and a noted Presidential Lecture Series.

♦TOM SPICER - DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS*
Tom Spicer was named
director of athletics at Fort
Hays State University on July
27. 1989, Spicer begins his
eleventh year as director of
athletics and has emphasized
a return to athletic and aca-
demic excellence.
A native of Beaver, Okla-
homa, Spicer attended sec-
ondary schools in Hays. He is
a graduate of Hays High
School and earned a bachelor
of science degree from Fort
Hays State University in 1 972.
He played varsity football for
the Tigers during his colle-
giate days. Spicer also re-
ceived his master of science
degree from FHSU in 1977.
Spicer is largely respon-
sible for the improvements
that were made to Lewis Field
Stadium. Through his contin-
ued efforts the 1936 stadium
was renovated with new
synthetic surfaces on both
the football field and track.
The native limestone struc-
ture was sandblasted to its
original color, A new two-
story press box on the west
side of the stadium is a wel-
come addition to stadium.
Spicer's fund-raising efforts
have led to improved financial
support of the Tiger athletic
programs, allowing student
athletes the opportunity to at-
tend FHSU,
Prior to making the move
back to FHSU Spicer was the
director of athletics and dean
of student affairs at Butler
County Community College.
He also has experience as
director of athletics, physical
education instructor, head
football coach and track coach
for the Durant, Oklahoma,
School District.
Previous to his work in
Oklahoma, he taught and
coached at Safina South High
School, at Bishop Miege High
School in Shawnee Mission
and at Schtagle High School in
Kansas City, Kansas.
Spicer is married to the
former Kathy McGovern of
Denver. Colorado. She re-
ceived a bachelor of arts de-
gree in sociology from Fort
Hays State in 1972. The
Spicers have four children:
Matt, Amber, Kristen and
Allison,

Lewis Field Stadium, the 6,362-seat home of
the Tigers, received a major facelift prior to the
1993 season. The native limestone structure
was refurbished to its natural state when 57
years of weathering was
sandblasted away.
The grass football field and
cinder track were replaced
with state-of-the-art artificial
surfaces.
The new football field is
STADIA-Turf, an artificial play-
ing surface. The green turf
lies upon a rubber surface
and beneath it is a iayer of
crushed rock which allows for maximum drain-
age. Both end zones are goid with black
lettering spelling out Fort Hays in the north and
Tigers in the south.
The new 8-fane rubber and polyurethane
track was named the Alex Francis track, to
honor the former Tiger track & field coach. The
majority of the field events are conducted
outside the north wall.
Prior to the start of the 1996 season
the seating was replaced throughout the
stadium. The new seats incfude 1,000
chairback seats on the west side and new
bench seating in the remainder of the
stadium.
Lewis Field was constructed in 1936 on
what was formerly the Golden Belt Fair-
grounds, and was named in honor of
WiiEiam Alexander Lewis, president of
Fort Hays State University from 1913 to
1933.
The field is located beside a spacious tree-
lined drive and is just a short walk from the
campus residence halls and the downtown
business district.
Dressing rooms, conces-
sion areas, athletic training
facilities, restrooms and
equipment storage rooms are
located under the grand-
stands. An overhaul of the
Tiger locker room was com-
pleted just before fail prac-
tices in 1990 with a syn-
thetic floor, a false ceiling
and new paint providing an
entirely different atmosphere. A new stereo
system was also Installed,
Admittance to the stadium is allowed through
two main gales, one on the east side and one
on the west side. Four ticket windows are in
service for each game.
Outside the limestone wall to the southeast
are two football practice fields.

The most recent addition to Lewis Field
Stadium is the new 2,800 square-fool Hubbard
press box which sits atop the west side of the
stadium. The press box is named in honor of
R,D. and Joan Dale Hubbard of Palm Desert,
Calif, who provided the majority
of the funding.
The upper level of the two-

area in which 20 or more elec-
tronic media personnel can re-

dio and television booths, hook-
ups, a camera deck, a filming room and a
restroom. Booths are also available for both

The lower level of the facility is the hospitality
area where President and Mrs, Edward H,
Hammond host university guests. In-
side the University Suite are tables and
chairs for 40 guests, a small kitchen and a
restroom.
The entire press box is heated and air con-
ditioned and has an integrated sound system
whereby users may listen to radio broadcasts,
view televised games and pick
up crowd noise from outside
the box.

sity guests, media personnel
and people with disabilities from
ground level to their destina-
tions, Areas designed espe-
cially for the disabled are lo-
cated at the top of the stadium both north and
south of the first level of the press box.
Prior to the 1999 season, the press box on

University football squad got off
to a 5-1 start under first-year
head coach Jeff Leiker before a
four game skid dropped the Ti-
gers to 5-5. FHSU won a shoot-
out with Adams State 41-36 in
the season finale to finish the
year on a winning note. Coach
Leiker Is looking for improve-
ment by the Tigers in his second
season directing the Black &
Gold football program. The 1999
team returns a host of veterans
which includes 35 letter win-
ners.
f OFFENSE ■;%

year ago. return for their senior
seasons. Selmon started the
first nine games and passed for
931 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Garcia the Tiger starter in the
final two games of the year
threw for 775 yards and five

Coach Leiker must replace
fast season's tailback duo of
Donald Gregory and Terry
Blassingame who combined to
rush for 2,026 yards and 19
touchdowns. Leading candi-
dates include sophomore
redshirt Parker Wallace, who
rushed for 3,064 yards and 44
touchdowns his senior year at
Saltna Central High School.

pressive during spring drills
after transferring from Tabor
College. Starting fullback Andy
Pfannenstief is the Tigers top
